Richardson Road over South Prong St. Mary River Replacement
Overview

The existing Richardson Road bridge over South Prong St. Mary River is a single-lane, seven-span structure. The bridge is 87.5-ft long, 12-ft wide, and composed of concrete slabs supported by timber columns. Constructed in 1960, the bridge connects two unpaved segments of Richardson Road.

This PD&E study proposes to replace the existing bridge with a single-lane, cast-in-place concrete slab bridge supported by concrete columns. The proposed bridge will be built wide enough to be used as a two-lane bridge after the future widening of Richardson Road into a two-lane road.
